On January 15th EPFL Geotechnical Engineering Group celebrated its 80th anniversary. Participants who received congratulations, were Professors, Post-Docs and PhD students from three laboratories: Laboratory of Soil Mechanics (LMS), Laboratory of Experimental Rock Mechanics (LEMR), Laboratory of Geo-Energy (GEL). For them it was great honour and pleasure to welcome five Professors from other universities who are globally recognized as experts in geomechanics/geotechnics: Prof. Tomasz Hueckel (Duke University), Prof. Joseph Labuz (University of Minnesota), Prof. Patrick Selvadurai (McGill University), Prof. Ronaldo Borja (Stanford University) and Prof. Antonio Gens (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya).
Like each participant, Chair "Gaz Naturel" personnel contributed to the celebration with oral presentations about their research:
